In 1995, the Texas Trees Foundation dedicated Pioneer Plaza to the City of Dallas providing a focal point with historical significance for downtown Dallas. The Plaza commemorates Dallas' beginnings by celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. The site features native plants and trees and a flowing stream in a natural setting and a re-creation of a cattle drive in bronze with longhorn steers being driven by three cowboys on horses. Each piece of bronze art was created by artist Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas. It is located adjacent to the Dallas Convention Center at Young and Griffin between the historical Pioneer Cemetery and the Dallas Convention Center. Pioneer Plaza represents the largest public open space in the central business district.
Other features of Pioneer Plaza include a waterfall, man-made cliffs, native plant life and the small historic details on the sculptures.
Pioneer Plaza is a must see place for everyone visiting Dallas to visit. The Plaza commemorates Dallas' beginnings by celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. (According yo Wikipedia).
Love this place! The sculptures are really cool and great for taking pictures. If visiting its a great place to go since everyone thinks of Texas as cowboys and long horns!
Not a big deal unless you visit the grave site which speaks on the area. Its close to great eatry. You have the chance to see the Omani hotel.
